Fair Weather Ocean Scene

Remember a relaxing day at the beach with this simple, colorful ocean scene lasercut from foamcore.

This piece is one of several vignette designed around Inventor Studio's Lasercut Foamcore Scenes, a simple interlocking geometry system for foamcore. Like this scene, but want one with a palm tree next to the sand? Maybe what's missing is a dolphin playfully jumping across the boat's bow. Design additional elements yourself using the included interlocking base shape and make this scene your own.

Teachers might consider using this interlocking system in makerspaces and other project-based classroom learning environments. Other designs released so far in this series can be found here, here, and here.

Don't forget sunblock.

Lasercutting & Assembly Instructions

An SVG file has been included for each color used in this design. Cutting the pieces on your laser should be very straightforward if you've cut foamcore before. Multi-pass cuts using reduced power are recommended, because this reduces the amount of foam shrinkage.rnrnSome layers in this design involve gluing different colored pieces onto the base part. Look carefully at the photo, paying attention to whether the additional pieces are glued in front or in back of the base piece. rnrnInexpensive bailing wire and painters tape are used to attach hanging elements of the scene.

How I Designed This ===================

Designed Using Inkscape & Tinkercad

Inventor Studios' Lasercut Foamcore Scenes are designed using Tinkercad and Inkscape. You can either edit the Inkscape SVG files found in this Thing directly or import them into Tinkercad to make modifications to this scene or create wholly new scenes for yourself, for classroom instruction, and to share with others.
